My bet is it will be like the Silverlode chair at Red, the bottom tension version of the Uni-Star.

Too bad about Christmas at Sun Valley being removed. Yan teardrop chairs are a rare sight now, and I'm not a fan of gondolas in areas that people might want to ski laps on


I second that. Snowbasin might want to hear that and consider converting their gondolas into high speed quads. That's why I'm not exactly a fan of Beaver Creek's proposals to replace the Strawberry Park Express lift with a gondola in their master plan. That lift has actual runs off of it, but it would probably be nice if there was a type of lift that went from the Strawberry Park Express lift side of the bridge to the Centennial Express lift to reduce the amount of poling needed.
